Good to see aftab in the team, I'd expect him to take some wickets too.

I would have dropped ash too, but with Junaid not yet in NZ I supppose there's no real batting alternative right now. If Ash fails again I expect someone (perhaps Junaid?) to replace him for the third test....

Not me, I think our strength is spin and their weakness is spin. So I would go with 2 more spinners instead of 2 pacers. All the pacers will leak runs like floodgate let it be at the beginning (if McCummum is there) or towards the end (the other cyclone)....

If you want to really win, you must use slow bowlers against the Kiwis.
